EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Portrait of an Obese Woman" captured by the talented photographer Bogardus, we are transported back to the United States in the late 19th century. The date of this photograph is estimated to be around 1887, a time when photography was still in its infancy and considered a luxury. The subject of this portrait is a remarkable woman who challenges societal norms with her unconventional beauty. Her figure defies traditional standards, proudly showcasing her fullness and curves. This image serves as a powerful reminder that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. Despite being labeled as obese, there is an undeniable grace emanating from her confident gaze. It's evident that she possesses immense strength and resilience, challenging any preconceived notions about health or appearance. This portrait transcends mere aesthetics; it captures the essence of self-acceptance and celebrates individuality. Her attire reflects the fashion trends of the era - a meticulously tailored dress adorned with intricate lace details that accentuate her femininity. Her hairdo exudes elegance with carefully arranged curls framing her face flawlessly. Bogardus masterfully captures every nuance through his lens, highlighting both vulnerability and empowerment within one frame. His skillful composition draws attention to every detail – from the delicate folds of fabric to each strand of hair perfectly coiffed. This photographic masterpiece by Bogardus reminds us that true beauty lies beyond superficial judgments or societal expectations. It encourages us to embrace our uniqueness while appreciating diversity in all its forms. As we admire this timeless portrait, let us celebrate not only the artistry behind it but also honor the courage displayed by this extraordinary woman who dared to challenge conventions during an era defined by rigidity and conformity
